Anyone do any stump pulling?
I don't know who you are talking about. But it sounds like a good story. I can't wait to hear more. 
Couldn't agree more!
Been working on a couple things around the house. One thing we had on our radar was to get an egress window installed in the bedroom in the basement. This allows it to be an actual bedroom by building codes. We figure it will help with selling. To be able to market a 4 bedroom versus 3. I contracted the actual installation of the window. I didn’t have a saw big enough to cut through the poured walls. The company did a good job installing the window. After they were done it was my turn to close the wall up. Got it all framed and patched up. Time for primer and paint. We will paint the entire ceiling then all the walls. Once that is done it will be time for new flooring. This is one of those projects that we will tinker with here and there. Probably take us another couple weeks to finish it up.
Great use of funds. Dividends on resale will easily outweigh the cost. Looks good Jon.
For sure. While we were house hunting, there were several houses that we passed on in part because of improper ingress/egress from a basement living space. I wasn’t super concerned but it was a big no-no with my wife.
Nice work, Jon!
Been wanting to get a flag with a pole to put out for front of the house for a long time now. Finally got to it. Went to menards and got 20ft pole. I also bought a flag light landscape that you could install to top of the pole. I gotta say I impressed how the flag light turned out.

That is perfect. I have got to get one of these. Nancy had to have a big fancy new flagpole last summer, and I must say that it is very nice flying our flags on bigger, sturdier flagpole. except for the sorry ass solar light she got for it.
Fly it proud brother!
Looks awesome BC!
Had a chance over the last week to finish up the basement bedroom. Well not officially finished. Have a couple punch items left. Was 20” short on baseboard in the closet. Need 2 replacement outlet covers and a shade for the light. This pic was before window trim. Will take final pic tomorrow after outlet covers and final baseboard piece.

New project tonight. Washing machine decided to throw an error code, water pump not pumping. Checked all the easy stuff and the only thing left was to remove and order a new pump. Thank goodness for YouTube. Had to take the entire front off to get to the pump. Ordered on Amazon and supposed to be here late tomorrow morning.
I’ve been wanting to build a bat box for about 10-12 years now even though we’ve always had about 8-10 that fly around above our house in the evenings from spring through fall. Anywho, I had some scrap wood from my FIL and a yard stick from the early 70’s our dad gave me that’s been needed used for something for 5 plus decades. Lol
The cedar boards I used for the sides were warped a little but I made them work. I sprayed a heavy coat of polyurethane and black indoor/outdoor paint on the exterior. Hoping to find a spot to hang it where we can watch them bail in the early evening from our porch.
Has anyone here ever made one of these and has had success housing these incredible mosquito eatin machines?

Finally took a few minutes to finish the last few items on the basement bedroom.
